Share this page

AMD’s User Experience Program is operated in the United States of America by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and is a way for users to share their information with AMD in order to help us improve our products and services. This program summary, together with AMD’s Privacy Policy, is meant to help you understand how we handle your information when you choose to participate in AMD’s User Experience Program. AMD is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and we hope you will take the time to read this summary carefully.

Program Summary

AMD’s User Experience Program allows you to choose to share details of your experience with AMD so that we can continue to improve and develop our products and services. Radeon Settings is AMD’s desktop application used for controlling many aspects of your GPU. There are many different ways you can use Radeon Settings – to optimize your games, adjust display settings, update your graphics drivers, and to update your preferences in relation to participation in this program. When you share information with us, for example by launching a game, your information helps us provide you with better optimized game profiles and configurability settings which ultimately improve your enjoyment and overall user experience.

Information We Collect

Through your participation in AMD’s User Experience Program we collect basic information like which language you prefer, to more complex things like the display resolution for your games, what graphics card (GPU) you have installed, or what games you’re playing.

We collect information about the features that you use and how you use them, like when you record gameplay with Radeon ReLive, overclock with Radeon WattMan or change a game's visual profile settings. In addition, we also record the following information:

Transparency and Choice

Participation in AMD’s User Experience Program is voluntary, and you can choose to participate and help us improve our products via an explicit consent opt-in box found during installs of Radeon Settings. You can change your mind at any time and withdraw from the program through Radeon Settings which stops all logging and sharing of information to AMD. By withdrawing your consent from the User Experience Program, the software related to this functionality will be uninstalled. Drivers and user-related features will not be altered.

You can opt-out (stop participating) in the User Experience Program via the Radeon Settings user interface by going to Radeon Settings (located within the system icons tray), navigating to the preferences tab and selecting “Leave AMD Experience Program.”

Information security

We are dedicated to protecting your privacy and will make every reasonable effort to keep your information secure. In particular:

As a participant in this program, the information you share will only be used to improve and develop our products.

The storage and transmission of your information is done via plain text to maintain transparency to you, while the authenticity of the information is ensured via checksum.

GPU: Graphics Processing Unit - the hardware engine that produce graphical displays on the monitor. The GPU can be located on a separate graphics card, or integrated on the same chip as the CPU.

Operating system: This is the basic software that coordinates the functioning of the different components on a computer. Examples of operating systems are Microsoft Windows, and the Linux operating system.

Memory: These are the hardware components that provide temporary storage for the programs and data while the computer is running (as opposed to persistent storage like hard disks or solid state drives). Other common names for memory are DRAM or just RAM.
